In Poland the cultivation of willow for energy purposes is a new practice and during the planting farmers make mistakes which influence the economic effect of business. The highest financial outlays in the years when a willow plantation (Salix viminalis L.) is established refer to the planting material and the planting process. The present paper discusses the development of long willow cuttings (lignified willow stem) replanted after dead willow clones in a 10-year-old plantation. The study assessed the cuttings with the length of 100, 150 and 200 cm. The cuttings were collected immediately prior to the planting. After planting, in the second year of the experiment, the number of developing and growing shoots was determined at three weeks’ intervals. The length of the cuttings had a significant effect on the number of developing shoots (in the first growing season) as well as their decay. In the second year of vegetation a significant effect on the number of cuttings on the growing shoots was not marked until the end of the growing season. The length of the cuttings had a significant impact on the length of the plants and the longest growing shoot.
